WHS doesn't work

[D-S]

I'm attending a WHS workshop run by EG (at a local club) in a few weeks time...got no details about the content or subject matter....anyone else attended one recently (I'm assuming it is part of a "roadshow" travelling round the country) or have any insight as to the potential subject matter?

If it is run by your County, perhaps with some EG staff attending, it will be about the duties of the Handicap committee as well as a bit of a refresher on key points of WHS.
There are some slides on key numbers of WHS, the Worldwide structure, responsibilities of the golfer, how to improve volunteering at the club, responsibilities of the Handicap Committee, info on the WHS portal, resources available from EG, info on the EG APP and quite bit on Terms of Competition and getting them right. Also one of the key points is for the golfer to initially contact their Club with queries/issues, then County and only as a last resort EG.
Hope this helps.

No such thing

Winter rules ?

Aren't we all playing that?

No such thing

They do. Many clubs operate them. Depends on the course.

I'd be gutted to get 50, then find out I was 3rd

Would you consider 50 an acceptable score ?

Absolutely ridiculous

Acceptable????? I'd be blooming delighted!!

Best player at the club shot 2under and came 85th.


The course was likely shortened for winter. Playing off mats. 32 was the worst score of the day.

Still can't wrap my head around those scores though.

If that happened at my club, I would politely ask for my entry fee back. And encourage others to do the same.

Just as funny as net scores or Stableford points!

What were the handicaps?

Damn....was hoping to hear about vast swathes of changes to the system to stop 54 handicappers sweeping up all the comps.

33.4 and 33.6 top 2.

No grown man should get that sort of allowance...they clearly don't need it!

 

[Backsticks]

For sure. But if someone beat you by a few points, you would consider their score acceptable also ?

 

[garyinderry]

Agreed.

I got into trouble on here a few years ago saying people should start on an 18 handicap and work up if needs be.

This was even before they lost their minds and increased the max handicap from 28.

No. They were clearly cheating while I of course had a red letter day!!

I guess the point is its all relative, and 53 points are nothing to get upset about, or raise concern about the WHS.
